Rising Model Danielle Herrington is Already a Pro on Instagram

We spend a lot of time on Instagram (no, really—a lot of time), and when we're not living vicariously through our favorite FOMO-inducing accounts, we're checking on some particularly talented users. So when our GQ castings team finds a ’grammer worth shouting out, we think it's our duty to share him or her with you, dear followers.

Danielle Herrington may have under 10,000 followers on Instagram, but that's about to change—fast. The native Californian knew she wanted to be a model from the tender age of eight. Fast forward just a little over a decade and she's booking jobs for Victoria's Secret (a career benchmark). A true millennial, Herrington's personal style is unfussy—more black jeans and army jackets than high-maintenance dresses and heels. We talked to the burgeoning top model about life, Instagram comments, and her craziest modeling story so far. Check her out below and give her a follow.

If you weren’t a model, what career would you pursue?
In school my major was Psychology, I always thought it was really cool how the mind works, so would I be interested in becoming a child psychiatrist.

What is the craziest thing you’ve done on a shoot?
One time had to wear a bikini inside of a green murky pool while it was 50 degrees and raining, all while trying to look like I was having the time of my life. Wasn't too crazy, just kind of gross.
